Gina arrives at Ani's place and accuses her of hitting Ani. Lara denies beating her and says she has stopped drinking. They're making a go of a relationship, though it's not perfect. She turns things around and blames Gina for leaving emotional scars on Ani's psyche. Gina calls her pathetic. Lara brings up the letter Gina wrote and leads her to believe that Ani read it and doesn't want her back. Gina's surprised, since she didn't send the letter. "If you truly love her Gina, let her go," Lara says. With tears in her eyes, Gina walks out.

Ani packs her things at home and covers up bruises created by Lara, but the makeup doesn’t help much. She leaves and bumps into Lara, who notices her handiwork and is very apologetic. She’ll never forgive herself. She went to an AA meeting last night. Ani wants her to get help but says nothing when Lara asks for another chance. They agree to talk later.

Lara and Ani wake up the morning after things got out of control. Lara apologizes. She hopes Ani knows she’d never do that intentionally but Ani doesn’t know anything anymore. She looks in the mirror glumly, after seeing a massive bruise across her cheek. Lara comes up to her, in tears, apologizing and promising to get help. She sobs as she professes her love. Ani sadly holds Lara.

Lara wakes up at Ani’s place and Ani immediately starts in on her, complaining about her being a drunken mess and hitting on Jess at the end of the party last night. Lara’s confused and doesn’t recall that. Ani yells that she and Gina had to haul her ass home. They bicker and Lara says she’s under a lot of pressure. She apologizes but Ani can’t do this right now. She takes off with Lara yelling after her.

Lara’s at the beach café drinking. Jamie can tell she’s upset but she’ll be fine. She wants him to keep the booze coming and get her book deal back. Jamie comforts her. She talks about how she thinks she’s losing Ani. She sleeps and Jamie wakes her up. He has a car waiting to take her home. She leaves with him, miserably.

Ani returns home to Lara drinking. Lara’s all talked out and slurs her words. Ani confronts her about her missed deadlines, causing Lara to become belligerent. She mourns not being on the bestseller’s list anymore and cries. Ani tries to hug her and Lara pushes her away, hard. In the process, Ani hits her head against the wall. Lara’s apologetic and starts bawling.

Ani, Lara and Gina celebrate Ani’s gallery showing outside at Gina’s pool. Everyone toasts Ani and Michelle gushes about how amazing it is to see Ani’s photos on display. Lara goes to refresh her drink and Gina replaces her. Michelle leaves them alone and Gina congratulates Ani, who thanks her for making her night happen. Lara stares from a table nearby as Katherine watches Guya with Brandon. Gina visits Brandon and Guya, who tells Gina that Brandon’s a homicide detective. Jamie drops by and overhears. Gina’s face goes pale as Guya shares that Brandon found a dead hooker’s body recently. Jamie puts on a smile and congratulates the detective who shares that they found a bracelet on the woman with a crest with the letter C scrawled on it and says she probably died of an aortic aneurism. There’s no sign of foul play but they just can’t figure out how she ended up in a funeral home. Gina laughs nervously and Brandon says they probably shouldn’t discuss it further. Gina and Jamie take off with excuses to refresh their drinks. Once they’re out of earshot, Gina blasts Jamie for taking the hooker to a funeral home. Jamie squeaks that he’s never done this before. He flashes to wheeling the covered body on a dolly while screaming, "Oh God. Oh God. Why? Why? Why?"

Later, Gina goes to Michelle and apologizes for not being in the office. She’ll be back soon. Michelle assures her it’s fine but takes off for a drink. She meets with Drew who admits he’s a huge fan of her designs. Drew’s a Rocket Scientist, Jamie boasts and Drew starts talking shop, causing Jamie to become even more enamored. The men kiss and Gina’s impressed. She thinks they’re adorable. She goes to Guya who shares she’s got an issue with her gift. She sees Amber nearby and goes to her but the woman is gone. Gina says hello to Jess and asks after Tracy. Lara falls into the pool at that point and Gina offers to help the drunken woman home.

Lara, Jamie and Drew discuss the show sale they conquered over cocktails on the rooftop patio. Lara receives a call from Ani and refuses dinner. She’ll have to stay home and write. She hangs up and admits to Jamie she’s behind on her book. She didn’t tell Ani because she wouldn’t understand the kind of pressure she’s under. Jamie disagrees but Lara wants to get back to drinking and talking about their shopping escapades. Later, Lara meets with Jamie and Gina arrives and he hands her a martini. She tells Ani all about John’s rehab plan and how excited she is. They talk about the gallery opening party at Gina’s place and what type of food they’d like to serve. Ani wants pigs in a blanket but worries about her weight. Gina comforts her and calls her the most beautiful woman she has ever met. They start dancing slowly.
